“But going back, you never get that experience, so you can go back, and I know my team probably wants to go there for sure and my coaches are in favor of that, so I’m going to do what’s the best. better for the team and if they want to go and we decide to go, then we go.
“But it was hard to see that at first, but I think we’ll all come together and I think it will be good.”

The real drama between elite athletes Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark was a racist double standard
Since winning the national championship over white America’s favorite Caitlin Clark, controversy has blanketed the 6’3 powerhouse.
The drama began when LSU’s star player made John Cena’s legendary “you can’t see me” gesture to Iowa – a move Clark made earlier.
Reese was criticized and called “classless” while Clark escaped the conversation virtually unscathed. This is a great example of racism and sexism double standard that black women continually encounter in this country.
Even Clark stood up to defend Reese blatant racism and disrespect on a common part of the game.
Jill Biden’s comments to invite the two tenacious teams to the White House “because they played such a good game” were a slap in the face for LSU. Traditionally, the White House only invites the winning team, not the second. Biden later apologized, but Angel did not accept his excuses.
The First Lady’s press secretary later said that FLOTUS did not intend to offend LSU with her comments. She clarified that the invitation would be for the winners only. This is believed to have triggered Reese’s change of heart.
LSU announced the team will be in attendance and the 20-year-old will be alongside their championship team.
Angel Reese could have ignored Jill Biden’s words, but the power forward spoke out against bigotry – black gyal magic at its finest.
